LATHERING BRUSH Application filed April 14,

This invention relates to improvements in shaving brushes, and it is theprincipal object of the invention to provide a shaving brush which maybe readily attached to the nipple of a collapsible tube or container fora shaving cream, soap, paste, lotion, etc.

Another object of my invention is the pro-- vision of a shaving brush ofsimple and therefore inexpensive construction, yet durable and efficientin operation.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a shaving brushadapted to be readily combined with a collapsible tube for a shavingcream and provided with a distrib-- uting nozzle within the brushallowing a uniform distribution of the cream and the working up of asuitable lather when moistened with water.

. A still further object of my invention is the provision of a shavingbrush equipped with a cream distributing head which is formed with acentral dispensing channel and a plurality of smaller distributingchannels branching ofi" from said central channel to en- 5 sure an evendistribution of the lather.

These and other objects and advantages of my invention will become morefully known as the description thereof proceeds and will then bespecifically defined in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawingsforming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a shaving brush constructed according tomy invention.

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the brush head in section. andona somewhat larger scale.

' Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the brush head 4.0 seen in the directionof arrows 33 of Figure 2. V

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the shaving cream dispensing nipple.

Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof.

As illustrated a collapsible tube 10 or container for a shaving soap orcream has at its lower end a threaded nipple llinto which is screwed adispensing nozzle 12' forming part of the head 13 of a brush 14.

The dispensing nozzle for the shaving soap 1930. Serial No. 443,985.

or cream, centrally located in the upper end of brush 14 and extendingfor a suflicient distance therein, has a substantially centrally locateddispensing channel 15 from which are branching off a plurality of branchchannels .8! 16, suitably grouped about the central channel 15.

The operation of my device will be entirely clear from the abovedescription thereof and the showing on the drawings, and it will beevident, that upon screwing the brush head upon the nipple of thecollapsible tube 10 after removal of its customary closing cap, andexerting a pressure agaist the wall of the tube in the usual well knownmanner, the contents of the tube, a shaving cream, soap or lotion, willbe forced ino the distributor nozzle and through the channels thereofinto the brush, as indicated in Figure 2, and will be uniformlydistributed therein, and if the brush is W'etted a suitable lather canbe worked up for application to the skin.

It will be understood that the foregoing description refers to thepreferred form of my-device only, and that I may make such changestherein as come within the scope of the appended claims withoutdeparture from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

In a device of the character described, a brush head, a distributingnozzle formed with said head in substantially the center thereof, andprovided with a neck part having an inner thread to allow the attachmentof the brush to the threaded nipple of a shaving cream tube, saiddistributing nozzle having a larger central channel formed therein witha restricted central diameter, and branch channels branching oil fromsaid central channel to ensure an even and uniform distribution of thecream pressed from the tube into the brush.

In witness whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

.HANS FRIEDLANDER.
